Floors/Decks

The Tongue & Groove HD board is designed for flooring and decking over 600mm centres.

This board is a high density board making it stronger and more resilient. It also has a specially developed water proofing agent in the mix which makes it perfect for external use or high moisture areas.

Due to it’s higher density it is heavier than the standard board but is more suitable for more demanding applications.

Safety

Use in fire prone areas or where fire safety is critical, FireCrunch will not burn, will not combust at 800ºC and has no flame out at 1200ºC.

The CSIRO has completed testing of FireCrunch to Australian standard ratings and has issued a Group 1 fire rating under BCA ( Building Code of Australia) A2. 4 and C1.10a section 3(c) standard AS/NZS 3837:1998 at 50Kw/m2 irradiance. (CSIRO Report No.FNK 9471 Assessment NK 6016 . No.1278 July 2009)

FireCrunch is 8 to 10 times stronger than “Gypsum” type plasterboards.

Mould and mildew does not absorb into FireCrunch making it ideal for use in areas of high humidity when mildew, mould and other similar conditions exist (bathrooms, shower recess etc.).

Pests & Weather

FireCrunch is made from a fibre composite mix and so is impervious to termites and insects.

FireCrunch will not degrade in water from floods or similar conditions and unlike plasterboard, FireCrunch has zero water absorption when sealed correctly during installation.

FireCrunch has been fire tested by Australia’s highest testing authority, the CSIRO.
